The Neighborhood War
Haley P.

As Audrey, Katrina, and Griffin were walking home from school they realized today was the day. The day the war began. They quickened their pace so they would be the first to start it. And they were.

The war started because, lets just say some people don’t like other people in this neighborhood. The war was just a water gun war anyway.

Audrey is a middle-length blonde haired girl. She is 11 years old and has a younger brother named Griffin. Griffin is 8 years old and has blonde hair as well. Katrina is a couple months older than Audrey and has long brown hair.

As they got their weapons (water-guns) they ran up the neighborhood to V.V. (Victor and Vivian). They yelled “are you guys ready to have a war!” After V.V. got their water guns they ran down the street to the triple D’s (Tory, Kyle, Mark (ding dong ditchers)). Audrey, Griffin, and Katrina caught their attention by saying “Are you guys ready to loose?” The Triple D’s started to prepare for the long war ahead of them.

That day the war began .You could here girls screaming everywhere. When the triple D’s squirted Katrina, Audrey felt something cold nailing her back, too. SKISH. V.V.'s were squirting her. She squirted them and they ran away in terror. When she turned back around to soak her oponents when she only saw double D’s. Only Kyle and Mark were on the battlefield. She secretly sneaked over to the triple D’s hide out because she knew where it was. When she got there it was abandoned. Tory was nowhere to be seen
.
“Wimp.” Audrey said aloud. But there were water balloons, unfilled, lying around a hose. Suddenly Audrey was struck with an idea. She set down her water gun and started filling the balloons.

After about 10 minutes Kyle and Mark came around the hedge.
They were astonished to see Audrey sitting there. “Get her!” they yelled. Audrey grabbed as many water balloons as she could, ran to get her water gun, and started chucking the balloons at them. SPLASH SLASH POP SPALSH POP. She kept the rest so she could use them against them. What Audrey didn’t know was that they had a secret stash. They started chucking the secret stash of water balloons at her. She tried to squirt them back but no water came out of her water gun. She ran to go fill her water gun up.

She came out with a water gun ready to soak. Everyone was in battle. V.V., the triple D’s, and Audrey, Katrina, and Griffin. Tory must have come out while Audrey was inside.

Audrey shot Tory and she overreacted and ran to change her clothes. Everyone rolled their eyes at her.

Victor and Vivian were the only ones that didn’t speak English very well, so when they yelled something at them they gave you a weird look. The bummer was that their dad and siblings were out too so the kids couldn’t be as to mean to them.


The battle lasted for hours. Finally the triple D’s gave up and V.V. had to eat dinner. Audrey, Griffin, and Katrina were the only ones left on the battlefield.

“So I guess victory is ours.” Griffin said. They all agreed that they had the most perseverance of all. And that was the end of the fabulous war.
